Case studies for impact
Concrete4Change
Concrete is the 2nd most used material in the world after water, however the industry contributes 3 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, with no routes to utilisation. C4C is developing breakthrough technology that utilises waste CO2 from cement production and locks it away forever in concrete, turning an emission problem into an emission solution. Our technology is on track to mitigate 150,000 tonnes of CO2e by 2030, and 2 million tonnes by 2040.’
